Securitech is making classroom security faster, easier and stronger with its QID (Quick Intruder Deadbolt) classroom lock, on display at the Annual National School Boards Association (NSBA) Conference and Trade Show on March 21-23 in Nashville, TN. Designed to exceed safe school government standards (FEMA-428/BIPS-07), the QID functions as a classroom function lock for everyday use but features the ability to instantly deadbolt a classroom door with the simple push of a single red button.
“Our new QID lock is designed for instant activation to secure a classroom with the strongest deadbolt protection,” said Mark Berger, President and Chief Product Officer, Securitech. “With a QID lock in place, teachers, students, staff and parents feel safer every day.”
The deadbolt locking mechanism in the QID is activated by simply pushing the red button. With one press, the person closest to the door can instantly activate both the deadbolt and the lever handle lock. A visual indicator lets the teacher know that the door is secured by the QID deadbolt and the outside lever is locked. It is the only solution that combines the locking lever handle with the deadbolt in a single action for the highest strength and security.
The Securitech QID lock is 100% code compliant and presents a number of advantages over other classroom locks. It combines the fast locking of both the exterior lever handle and a deadbolt with the single-action egress required for occupant safety. Just as important, the door is always able to be unlocked by key from the outside. This critically important outside key access enables First Responders or other authorized staff to enter the room quickly, if needed – something which other newly developed classroom door blocking products do not allow. Additionally, virtually no training is required to activate the QID lock.
